effexHey guys, a heads up - Wordpress is pulling some really horrible shit with ![[livjournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user_other.png)
waywardradish's A Search For Survivors blog, a support blog for survivors of "holding therapy."
Copy pasted fromcopperbadge:
As many (I hope) of you know, one of my friends,waywardradish, runs a support blog for survivors of "holding therapy", a dangerous, abusive, and sometimes lethal practice performed exclusively on children. Predominantly aimed at adopted and foster children, who often have no strong advocate and like all children have little physical defence, this abuse can involve wrapping them in blankets until they vomit, holding them down until they lose consciousness (or die), and forcing them into humiliating and terrifying situations over which they have no control.
Her main site, A Search For Survivors, has been suspended by wordpress because she has become visible and is being targeted by practitioners of holding therapy, who are threatened by her voice and (one hopes) losing money because of the truth she's telling. (Follow up post here.)
And fromwaywardradish:
I need your help.
WordPress Dude has crossed the line from prototypical corporate self-interest (and therefore disinterested even in matters of institutionalized child abuse and molestation) to being outright spiteful, condescending and deceitful.
I'll post the entirety of this dude's unbelievable correspondence once I end up finishing this new site--dgljalkjfdlkaj there are not enough hours in the day and it's not yet midnight and I'm already exhausted. I have to concentrate on getting as much done as possible in the very small window of time that WordPress Dude allows me access to my blog (he keeps demanding I change posts on my blog and then immediately freezing it so I can't so much as edit posts, much less make new ones).
This guy is driving me crazy and half-starved with this trick of his, and he knows it.
Please e-mail tosreports@wordpress.com with a short, concise protest against WordPress censoring survivors of child abuse at the behest of the very people responsible for our abuse.
Sam's got an email template up in that follow up post if you're not able to write one yourself - please take a moment to send it along.
